Try-Catch-Finally

Basic exception handling patterns

csharp

// Basic try-catch
try
{
    int result = 10 / 0;
}
catch (DivideByZeroException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Message}");
}
finally
{
    Console.WriteLine("Cleanup");
}

💡 Catch specific exceptions before general ones

⚡ using statement ensures proper resource disposal

📌 finally block always executes, even after return

🟢 Exception filters allow conditional catch blocks
